The hotel @ Holme Lacy was good, grounds & facilities but the food was badly cooked & not up to previous standard. Hake like cardboard, lamb shank could not get my fork in, items missing from plate & since when was an omelette some beaten egg cooked flat. Very disappointing & quite a jump in the price. Valerie

Holme Lacey Warner Hotel. Lack of staff in restaurant, 30 minute wait time from being sat at table to order being taken. Evening entertainment whilst waiting for the main event on the Saturday evening, which was an Abba tribute group, who were good, the entertainment manager decided to put on smutty music videos for 45 minutes, which were totally inappropriate for the type of audience. I was disgusted that he continued to play them, even though I made a complaint and people were walking out.

We had a weekend break booked at Nidd Hall starting on 9 July but had a telephone call from Warner’s on 2 July to say our break was cancelled due to COVID restrictions. As this was the fourth or fifth time we had to postpone we decided to get our money refunded. We then had an email from Warner’s saying we had instigated the cancellation which just added insult to injury so we decided to complain about the way this had been handled. Eventually managed to locate and complete a complaint form but also tried to speak to someone at the hotel to let them know how disappointed we were. After waiting almost an hour to be put through to someone we gave it up as a bad job. We have been customers of Warner’s for many years and like going to Nidd Hall but think we’ll try elsewhere in future.

Booked at Holme Lacy House. Checking out on Monday 31st May. Evening entertainment on Saturday the 29th was good however it finished really early for a Saturday night. The band played for an hour. The pandemic is challenging however the same band could have been booked for longer. The amount we paid should have reflected the entertainment gaps. There is always something not available on the menu.

We had a weekend break cancelled due to the pandemic, waiting for the government announcement on Wednesday 24/02/21 to find out when the the hotels would open again. We chose an alternative weekend break in September so we could move our money to this break, but as we decided to re-book the price had gone up by £65pp that’s ok maybe time of year. But then the hotel changed the price two more times. It went from £264 to £299 to £319 all in the space of 24 hours, original price £199pp at a different hotel. Not prepared to be used we have requested a full refund, we feel Warner are taking advantage of the situation and change the prices to suit popularity. So please be warned.

My sister had booked an August holiday for the three of us at Nidd Hall and paid the deposits. She died on the 30th June and her husband notified the company requesting a cancellation of the booking and refund of the deposits. He then sent the death certificate. However, three months on and he still has not received a refund. He has phoned several times but has been fobbed off. Staff have promised to ring him back but never have. He is in his eighties and is very stressed about their appalling administration. We have now been told Warners never received the death certificate which was posted out with an accompanying letter in July. Another pathetic excuse! They will do anything to hang onto your money! To make matters worse, Warners sent a Christmas brochure in the post addressed to my deceased sister last week causing her husband even greater distress. This company don't even deserve one star. Their customer service and administration are appalling. After many years dealing with them, we will not be doing so in the future!!

Warners was always under a time bubble and Covid has finally burst that. But it was a good concept they say like a cruise on land well yes if you have a very large imagination. You need to now run a business for over 40's not over 80's otherwise your time is running out. Warners represents offers that are not offers unless the starting price was £2k for 3 nights! Arrogant, ignorant, dirty old people, ballroom, mobility scooters, bingo, quizzes with answers you would only know if born 1930. So if you want to pay £6 plus a pint, £7 plus for a sandwich, dance to Fred Astair, listen to old people openly farting, watch people grabbing food with hands, get Covid and even more frequently Norovirus, playing 1930's quizzes, old people staring and glaring at you because you are under 79 then do stay you'll absolutely love it.

Booked a holiday to Nidd hall on the understanding we could cancel if we felt unsafe due to covid. After Boris announcement yesterday and living in Newcastle area in lockdown, we decided to cancel as to travel there would be in breech of non essential travel.We were going with family from other house holds so could not now sit together. Also everything closing at ten and restrictions on all other facilities. So not what we booked for. Beware you lose your deposit unless your willing to pay the full amount and wait until 28 days before your break. And judging by other comments on here they are in no hurry to refund you !!! Be very careful before parting with your money they are not to be believed. So disappointed and ripped off.

Bodelwyddan Castle Hotel Returned today from three much anticipated nights at what we thought were going to be the luxury that is advertised. We were throughly disappointed and felt completely cheated. Garden room, budget type,overlooking concrete wall. Inedible first meal with remainder being mediocre and no individuality. Chef? No just formulaic pre plated food. Terrific staff polite pleasant and helpful. Perfectly clean everywhere and fantastic cocktails. We spent £800 and feel robbed.

Appalling customer service from Warner’s. Booked for Holme Lacy originally , rebooked due to closure. Eventually decided that we would like a refund, no response to emails as promised many telephone calls later and the promised refund has not materialise. Dreadful customer service ,we will never book anything with this company. The Daily Mail should never promote them again.

I've recently booked 4 nights in Littlecote as I've recently recovered from Covid but my break on 06/07/20 has been cancelled because Warner have decided to open later than permitted as few bookings have been made. When I booked I received a £140 discount but they're now trying to delete the discount if I re-book for a date when they are open. I've tried to log a complaint but they don't give a monkeys. I feel like they're trying to mug me. I've now passed it to trading standards for breach of contract and I'll await the outcome. The crazy thing is, I've been using Warner's for 20 years but unless they honour my original offer price for the same price break I'll never use them again. BEWARE. They will do all they can to catch you.

My wife and daughter were booked on a short break for June 2020 which was cancelled by Warners due to the Corona Virus problem. An email and letter from Warners Managing Director was received on 13 May 2020 confirming that a refund was available to anyone who did not wish to re-book a break in the future. Due to health issues, my wife decided that a refund was appropriate and I (her husband) made contact with Customer Services to apply for the refund of monies already paid to Warners. Having contacted Warners Customer Services, I was advised that No Cash Refund was available and all of the monies paid would be put into a "Holding Fund" and would stay there until a new booking was made. Several emails and phone Calls were made to Warners pointing out that their MD had given the option of a Full Refund or Money Being Transferred to a Holding Account and my wife had decided, due to health reasons, to have a full refund. A Customer Services Supervisor at Hemel Hempstead (name available if required) made contact by telephone and was extremely unhelpful, verging on abusive (not a good advert for Warners Leisure Hotels). Notwithstanding this, I made further contact with Warners and eventually spoke with a very helpful lady (name available if required) who made a great effort to resolve the difficulty and within a day had managed to get authorisation for a Full Refund. I can say that the payment has now reached my wife's account and we are extremely grateful to the lady who actually took a grip of the problem and resolved it with care and professionalism. Needless to say, due to the unhelpful attitude of the head office staff, future holidaying with Warners will not ever be an option for my family or friends

Firstly booked holiday at Cricket St Thomas, paid balance on agreed date but money was taken twice. Eventually returned money but no apology. Then just booked Studley Castle after receiving offer leaflet. which clearly states Bed Breakfast, evening meal and entertainment but when I tried to book a table for evening meal I was told this was not included.Totally disgusted by sneaky added prices. In such tiny print at bottom of leaflet the terms are set out. Why not next to the deal price!!! Needless to say I cancelled this booking

The new website is useless. Can't view bookings, can't pay your balance and apparently if your friend did the booking for you it will NEVER appear on your bookings. Pathetic. They say it can't be done because of data protection but up to the last few months it was fine and as far as I know the act hasn't changed so what's the problem. This is despite the booking having full names and addresses only the lead name will see it!! If Warners are trying to devise a way so you can't keep track of your stays towards your clubcard then they have succeeded.

We visited Warners Bembridge Friday 12th October Reference number 11511056 We wrote a letter ..outlining the problems We went away and returned on Friday 26th October to find a message on phone from Tina saying Warners could not help us get car parking ticket refunded. This was the least of our problems as we had to travel 45 miles from Lymington to Portsmouth because our 11.00 clock ferry was not running and Wight link said WArners had been informed but had not passed information on to us. I tried to ring and speak to Tina but was told she didn,t start work until 5.00pm. I rang again at 7.00pm to be told Warners were now closed. It seems you can easily contact Warners to book a holiday but not to make a complaint. We are platinum card holders and very disappointed with this service
